Pulling trigger a cocked Glock

[champu]

Is it bad to pull the trigger on a glock that has been cocked? (slide release holding the slide)

Pulling trigger a cocked Glock

It moves the dooms day clock closer to midnight by 1 minute.

There's a weird feeling. It's just like dry firing except the trigger is slightly heavier.

When the slide is locked open on a Glock, the only thing holding the trigger forward it the saferty lever IN the trigger. If you pull the trigger, you depress that safety and the trigger spring pulls it rearwards. If you just do this a few times, your not going to hurt the gun. However, your rubbing two pieces of plastic together that were not meant to slide on each other (the trigger safety and the frame.) Eventually one will wear out, disabling the trigger saftey. You didn't hurt you Glock, just don't do it anymore.

It’s a weird feeling because it’s a Glock - mushy plastic is their calling card.

Dry fire the hell out of it, worst case 10,000 dry fires later, you probably have to buy a new $14 firing pin.

If the slide is locked back and the trigger is forward, you can pull it, but Glock recommends not to do it because it can wear out the back of the trigger safety where it contacts the frame (if done repeatedly). I’d guess it’d take thousands of repetitions for any appreciable wear to occur, so don’t worry about it as long as you’re not sitting there doing this day in and day out.

Wouldn't replacing the trigger with an aluminum style trigger like Apex fix this issue and get you a better trigger?

Hi all,

I have a dumb question but wanted to ask anyways...

I did this by accident and noticed it felt weird, and just wanted to make sure I don't have to get something fixed.

If it fell on the carpet when you forced the trigger then the gun is broken.

Yes, but that trigger would still be in a Glock! Lol!

I dry fire the bejeezus out of all my glocks without issue. Not sure why anyone would pull the trigger at slide lock though. Seems like a few violations of simple gun safety to me. Can’t think of any reason why it would permanently damage it though.

I’m a glock armorer for reference.

I actually would recommend it. Easy way to give your self a trigger job. Striker fire guns are dry fire friendly. /thread.

So just to clarify, you're recommending that people put their Glock's in slide lock and pull the trigger, like the OP did?
